Predominant musical traits
It is apparent that by the 8th century the documentary history of Japanese music had begun. Although this claim predates an equal state of Western music history by some 100 years, certain interesting parallels between the two traditions can be made. Both seem more clearly established in the same general 200-year period, a short time when compared with Chinese music studies. Both developed a musical nomenclature heavily influenced by the music of religious organizations: the Roman Catholic church in the West, Buddhism in Japan. Both traditions were equally influenced by the theories of a foreign culture from over the nearest sea: Greece in Italy and China in Japan. Herein many differences arise, one of the most significant being that, in the Japanese case, the foreign tradition of China at the time of its first major influence was alive and strong and could apply practical musical information and instrumentations as well as theories, whereas the Greek tradition was long dead by the same period, when the European monks turned to it for guidance. Nevertheless, one can see that the general length and beginning of each history is comparable. Before discussing Japanese music in chronological detail, one should make an attempt to envision general characteristics, realizing that in doing so the tendency is to apply aphorisms to music that stretches over a series of styles as old and varied as the music of Europe from Gregorian chant through Claude Debussy. Keeping in mind that caveat, one can put forth general guidelines for the appreciation of Japanese traditional music.
Aesthetic and formal ideals
These guidelines fall under three general concepts: (1) the sound ideal, (2) the structural ideal, and (3) the artistic ideal; but these three things are not clearly separate in any musical event.
In general one can say that the most common sound ideal of Japanese music is to produce the maximum effect with a minimum amount of material. For example, the taiko drum of the Noh drama consists of a barrel-shaped body over which are lashed two cowhide heads some 20 inches (50 cm) in diameter stretched over iron rings. Wooden sticks are used to hit one head. Obviously, the sound potentials of the drum are many, but they are deliberately suppressed. For example, the sticks are made of very soft wood, and the strokes are applied only to a small circle of soft deerskin in the centre of the head. The taiko, like Japanese ink paintings, accomplishes a great deal by concentrating on very carefully chosen limitations of the medium.
Another feature of much Japanese traditional music could be called the chamber music sound ideal. No matter how large an ensemble may be, one finds that the various instruments are set in such a way that the timbre, or tone colour, of each can be heard. This can be understood in Western chamber music and contrasts with the Western orchestral sound ideal, in which the primary intention is to merge all the instrumental sounds into one glorious colour. The colour separation of Japanese music is quite evident in the large court ensemble (gagaku), as well as in drama music and actual chamber ensembles such as the sankyoku, for koto (zither), samisen (plucked lute), and the end-blown shakuhachi flute. Such textures support the strong multilinear (as opposed to harmonic) orientation of East Asian music.
The structural intents of Japanese music are as varied as those of the West, but one of special interest is the frequent application of a three-part division of a melody, a section of a piece, or an entire composition. This is in contrast with the more typical two-part division of Western music. Of course, examples of both ideals can be found in the music of both cultures; the concern here is with broad generalities. The fundamental terminology of the Japanese tripartite form is jo-ha-kyū, the introduction, the scatterings, and the rushing toward the end. A Western musician might wish to compare this with sonata allegro form and its three parts (exposition, development, recapitulation). But the Western example relates to a complete event and involves the development of certain motives or melodic units (such as first and second theme), whereas the Japanese concept may be applied to various segments or complete pieces that are generally through-composed (i.e., with new material for each segment). Japanese music reveals its logic and its forward motion not by themes but by a movement from one section to another different one until the final section is reached. Forward motion in motive Western music was often derived during the classical periods from the tension created by chord progressions. In Japanese music, such sonic events generally are not used. Nevertheless, the need for aurally recognizable patterns falling into a progression that the informed listener can anticipate is necessary in all music. In Japan such stereotyped patterns are melodic or rhythmic, not harmonic. They will be discussed in detail later; but the recognition, whether intellectual or aural, of the existence of such recurring patterns is essential to the appreciation of any music.

Word orientation
One of the artistic ideals of Japanese music is equally clear in all of East Asia. It is the tendency for much of the music to be word-oriented, either through actual sung text or through pictorial titles to instrumental pieces. With the exception of variation pieces (danmono) for the Japanese koto, one can seldom find a purely instrumental piece in the spirit of, for example, the Western sonata or symphony. Japanese ensemble pieces, like those of China and Korea, are either dance pieces, instrumental versions of songs, or descriptive. This ideal in all of East Asia was not weakened until the late 19th century, when such music was forced to compete with Western idioms.

Danville Days
I appreciated the central location of this facility. The continental breakfast was adequate and its hours until 10 a.m. were good. The bottom of the bathtub in both rooms we had was slippery and felt unsafe---needs new non-skids. Our only real problem was with trying to use the computer to print out boarding passes for our flights. The clerk said that she thought they needed a new router, which makes me think this is not a new problem and should be addressed.
Would not recommend
Only if you MUST
This is a substandard hotel at best....use this hotel if and only if there is NO OTHER CHOICE!
A lot for a little!
As we arrived late on friday nite, we could hear the live band playing in the restaraunt/bar attached to the motel, and they sounded very good, but alas we had been up since 4:30 a.m. & it was after 10:30p.m. so we were only looking for our bed. We also noticed the pool,and fitness center, but we never took advantage of them either do to our schedule. Though we have stayed here before and used these amenities and enjoyed them all, this time we were more impressed that our stay was less expensive here than any others. My only complaint is the the air conditioning was very loud, but worked well. It was hard to sleep with it on, and I think it could be updated. Also the restaurant closed at 9:00 p.m. on Friday which seemed a little early, but maybe its not for Danville. Room and staff all were excellent, but the closest Ice machine was up on the 4th or the 6th floors. Yes, we will stay here again.
Several fine restaurants within a mile or two.
Hotel review for Danville 11/6/10
Good location and comfortable
We were there for hockey tryouts, the staff could have been more pleasant, but overall it was a good stay
Not satisfied
This hotel seemed shabby and this gave a perception that it wasn't as clean as it could have been. I think it just needs a little renovation to perk it up.

Why should it bother you to protect your family? I wouldn't throw a party if I had to shoot some scum bag but I wouldn't feel bad about it either. The scum bag is the one responsible for getting himself shot. The only time you should beat yourself up over shooting someone is if it wasn't a righteous shooting. Feeling sorry about shooting a turd is just a waste of time.
For the folks involved defending themselves it can be a traumatic thing. But there is nothing wrong with everyone else celebrating a good outcome and the end of an evil person.

You have to think of how the kid is going to react over the traumatic event he just endured! Hopefully he will be able to cope with it and he did do a great job on defending his home and family. I love when people comment on something that doesn't even belong in this thread.

The very idea that a reminate of the male defensive nature regarding his tribe is just terrible. The Liberals see this as a failure in their drive to turn boys into Little ????.

Critical Essay by Nigel Dennis
One of the many interesting pieces in Essays of E. B. White is called "Some Remarks on Humor" and was originally the preface to an anthology of humor assembled by White and his wife and published in 1941. In it, White does his duty to the publishers like a man and talks about the essence of humor—why funny is so funny, what temperature the oven should be, and so on—but his heart is not in this unhappy duty; no man knows better that a dissertation on humor is bound to be worthless as information and painful as reading matter. So, he moves on smartly to the infinitely fascinating question, which nobody has managed to answer, of why Americans believe "that if a thing is funny it can be presumed to be something less than great, because if...

So my Uncle has this AE86 that he doesn't use anymore and he wants to sell it. From what I've researched so far this particular model seems to be a pretty rare car. I was wondering roughly about how much can he expect to make if he can find a buyer?
A few details about the car:
- 157,xxx miles
- Original 4A-GE engine, etc. Only thing that isn't original is the paint. He repainted it several years ago with the same color that it was originally (grey and black)
- Completely stock
- Interior is in pretty good condition, but the seats look kinda dirty and they are torn in places.
- The "new" paint is in kinda rough shape in my opinion. A few places where rust has perforated (is that the word?)
He used it for work :face palm: that's why some parts of it aren't in wonderful condition. We were thinking of selling it through Craigslist. I have worked out deals through there as a buyer and seller a few times but nothing as expensive as this.
Any help would be appreciated!
(Pics will come later)

It is mild now John; but we are to get cold again in a couple of days:winter isn't finished yet! |
We were a little above freezing in our yard today too Arlene, and a tiny fraction of the snow thawed, where it lies shallow on the path! |
Yes we have a lot of snow Shirley; but today(for the first time since November)a little of it melted in the warmth of the sun! |
We should have known that beautiful cold dry weather wouldn't last until spring. |
Hey Bill we are above freezing, what do y ou know---but it is to be colder toward the end of the week. It is su pposed to be windy but so far it is a really nice day. A welcome change thats for sure. I see you got more snow as did we, so hope it doesn't have to blow it around later on. Take care. |
Nice snow photo - pretty! |

10 March 2010 Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the head of the United Nations-backed panel tasked with preparing regular scientific reports on the impact of climate change today announced that the body, which is facing growing attacks from global warming sceptics, will undergo an independent and comprehensive review.
In 2007, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued its Fourth Assessment Report, which found the warming of the climate is outpacing natural variability, driven largely by human activity.
But its credibility has come into question after revelations that the landmark publication contained some mistakes, including over the rate of Himalayan glacier melt.
Although there were "a very small number of errors" in the 3,000-page Fourth Assessment Report, "I have seen no credible evidence that challenges the main conclusions" of the publication, Secretary-General Ki-moon underscored to reporters today.
"Let me be clear: the threat posed by climate change is real," he said. "Nothing that has been alleged or revealed in the media recently alters the fundamental scientific consensus on climate change. Nor does it diminish the unique importance of the IPCC's work."
In fact, Mr. Ban said, the science underpinning climate change continues to be strong, with evidence collected since 2007 showing that it is picking up pace. "The need for action is all the more urgent." To this end, he stressed the necessity of transparency, accuracy and objectivity, as well as the importance of curtailing the possibility of any errors in the future.
IPCC Chairman Rajendra Pachauri, at same press encounter, acknowledged criticism of the Fourth Assessment Report, but he said that the publication's findings remain "robust" and that its "major conclusions of that report are really beyond any reasonable doubt."
The IPCC is currently preparing to start work on the Fifth Assessment Report, scheduled to be finalized in 2014.
The InterAcademy Council (IAC), a scientific organization bringing together experts from around the world, has been tasked with reviewing the IPCC's processes and procedures to strengthen the quality of its reports.
The review will be led by IAC co-chairs Robbert Dijkgraaf, who heads the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Science, and Lu Yongxiang, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"It will be conducted completely independently of the United Nations," Mr. Ban emphasized today.
Mr. Dijkgraaf said today that the IAC seeks to "assure nations that they will receive sound, scientific advice" so that "governments and citizens alike can make informed decisions."
Scientists will be selected to serve on a voluntary and unpaid basis to prepare a draft report on their findings, which will then undergo an intensive peer review by other scientists. "Only when the IAC board is satisfied" will the final report be issued, he said.
Characterizing the task as "forward-looking," Mr. Dijkgraaf said that there are "no preconceived conclusions."
The IAC, he said, has been asked to look into issues such as data quality assurance and control; procedures for correcting errors; and analyzing the IPCC's communications strategies.
The UN will fund the endeavour, and it seeks to submit its final report to Mr. Ban and the IPCC. It will also be transmitted to the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which set up the IPCC in 1988.

San Diego, California (PRWEB) December 31, 2012
Urban legends and myths are a common part of the fabric of popular culture, but those pertaining to medical procedures can often generate false perceptions, leading patients to experience unnecessary doubt. A recent article from Emax Health dispels some of the common medical myths that surround the popular practice of plastic surgery. It notes that while many may criticize this field of medicine, most cosmetic procedures are safe if the patient takes proper steps to find the right doctor. Dr. Alavi, a trusted plastic surgeon in Southern California, adds more truth to this subject.
As the Head Cosmetic Surgeon of the Center for Cosmetic Surgery in San Diego, California, Sassan Alavi, M.D., F.A.A.C.S. has had a great deal of experience with plastic surgery options. Dr. Alavi notes that there are many high-quality procedures that prospective patients can look into without fear of common myths. He explains, "There are many myths about plastic surgery, but most only make good party conversation."
In the article, Tracy M. Pfeiffer, M.D., M.S. holds a similar sentiment about these misinformed rumors, by revealing that cosmetic work is not just an option for the rich and famous. Pfieffer states, "Like with any other lifestyle choice, the average person may have to save and budget for it, but it's within reach. Most of my patients are not extremely wealthy. Rather, they are everyday Americans such as teachers, lawyers, real estate agents, retired persons, etc. that come from every social strata and ethnic background."
Dr. Alavi agrees that myths regarding plastic surgery costs are important to dispel, as these options are widely accessible and affordable with the right financial plan. In addition
